  6 I, 2 |         for all that a man can say or know still deeper grounds
  7 I, 3 |        Anselm.. We do no injustice or dishonor to God, but give

 18 I, 7 |          any other being than God, or were in the power of any

 21 I, 7 |        than by means of the devil, or of sparing him, what injustice
 22 I, 7 |      matter, is deemed wholly just or wholly unjust. Suppose,
 23 I, 7 |        have the power to avoid sin or the punishment of sin; for

 44 I, 1 |           which makes a being just or upright in heart, that is,
 45 I, 2 |           sin without compensation or punishment; if it be not
 46 I, 2 |    conceived; and nothing is right or fit save as he wills; it

 48 I, 2 |            as regards what is best or fitting; nor should that

 50 I, 2 |          not belong to his liberty or compassion or will to let

 52 I, 3 |           there is nothing greater or better than God, there is
 53 I, 3 |         taken away must be repaid, or punishment must follow;
 54 I, 3 |            not be just to himself, or he will be weak in respect
 55 I, 4 |         sinner is an honor to God, or how it is an honor. For
 56 I, 4 |            debt of his own accord, or, if he refuse, God takes
 57 I, 4 |          own will, by avoiding sin or making payment, or else
 58 I, 4 |    avoiding sin or making payment, or else God subjects him to
 59 I, 5 |            Nothing can be added to or taken from the honor of
 60 I, 5 |           no way subject to injury or change. But as the individual

 63 I, 5 |           part. And so, though man or evil angel refuse to submit
 64 I, 5 |           even this wayward choice or action of his becomes subservient,
 65 I, 5 | satisfaction for sin freely given, or if this be not given, the
 66 I, 5 |   impossible; so that satisfaction or punishment must needs follow
 67 I, 5 |        plain that no one can honor or dishonor God, as he is in
 68 I, 5 |            do this when he submits or opposes his will to the
 69 I, 6 |           in its being either less or greater. For either God

 73 I, 7 |            themselves be restored, or other angels substituted
 74 I, 7 |         none could ever be upheld, or else that it was necessary
 75 I, 8 |  originally made perfect in number or that they were not?~Anselm..
 76 I, 8 |         which was not yet perfect, or, if it were also diminished,
 77 I, 8 |           me that some, either men or angels, would fall immediately,
 78 I, 8 |        consummate this perfection, or that it was superfluous,
 79 I, 8 |   otherwise, of necessity some men or angels must fall, because
 80 I, 8 |      justified in this unholy joy, or how shall we say that angels
 81 I, 8 |           think that any one would or ought to have it. For how
 82 I, 8 |       restore the part diminished, or to make up that which was
 83 I, 8 |          fallen angels, no one can or ought to know that he would

 85 I, 8 |          to which we look forward; or that, if that confirmation
 86 I, 8 |          the bounds of the people (or tribes) according to the
 87 I, 8 |      number of the angels of God;" or as another translation has
 88 I, 8 |        either mean the same thing, or are different, without contradicting
 89 I, 8 |          and "children of Israel," or that elect men only are
 90 I, 8 |          elect men only are meant, or that both angels and elect
 91 I, 8 |           whole celestial kingdom. Or by angels of God may be
 92 I, 8 |          of Israel, holy men only; or, by children of Israel,
 93 I, 8 |         elect men, is to be taken, or that there will be a people
 94 I, 8 |           now see why angels only, or even angels and holy men
 95 I, 8 |           Therefore the confessors or martyrs are so called; for
 96 I, 8 |            are holy angels of God, or that a people will continue
 97 I, 9 |           the good which he begun, or he will repent of having
 98 I, 9 |           to raise man to the same or a similar kind of happiness
 99 I, 9 |       accomplish what he designed, or else that be repented of
100 I, 9 |      sinner attain that happiness, or happiness like that, which
101 I, 9 |           in this way be restored, or become such as he was before
102 I, 9 |           attain happiness in sin, or be freed from sin without
103 I, 0 |            which does not help you or give encouragement of your
104 I, 0 |           he who injures you yours or his, but you are both the
105 I, 0 |          Christ before his coming, or who believe in him since
106 I, 1 |          for me either to do this, or some greater sin.~Anselm..
107 I, 1 |            fall back into nothing, or else that you should do
108 I, 1 |            what is useful for him, or cannot make up his loss;
109 I, 3 |        nothing can be more exactly or justly conceived.~Anselm..
110 I, 3 |         There is nothing more just or necessary; but, from all
111 I, 4 |        whole universe besides God; or else this, which, as I have
112 I, 4 |          either wishes to restore, or else he does not wish to.
113 I, 4 |         Anselm.. But whether needy or unjust, he will not be happy.~
114 I, 4 |           be saved without paying? Or, with what face shall we
115 I, 5 |         man? For, either by Christ or by some one else can man
116 I, 5 |         one else can man be saved, or else not at all. If, then,
117 I, 5 |           man cannot be saved all, or that he can be saved in
118 I, 5 |         salvation either by Christ or in any other way?~Anselm..
119 I, 5 |       repented of his good intent, or was unable to accomplish
120 I, 5 |          which no reason can show; or else we must accept the
121 II, 1|           what it loved and chose, or else it was not. But if
122 II, 3|          know of nothing more just or proper than this, that as
123 II, 4|            regard to human nature, or else he has made to no end
124 II, 5|            necessity which removes or lessens gratitude, and what
125 II, 5|         necessity which takes away or lessens our gratitude to
126 II, 5|           less thanks are due him, or none at all. But when he
127 II, 5|           inasmuch as he undertook or maintains it, not with any
128 II, 5|            to redeem your promise, or make yourself a liar; notwithstanding,
129 II, 5|          since he is not compelled or restrained in anything.
130 II, 7|         Divine should become human or the human Divine; nor can
131 II, 7|           be only God and not man, or man only and not God. Or,
132 II, 7|           or man only and not God. Or, if they were so commingled
133 II, 7|            these things cannot be, or, if they could be, would
134 II, 8|          either take it from Adam, or else he will make a new
135 II, 8|         very being who has sinned, or else one of the same race.
136 II, 8|            so none but themselves, or one born of them, ought
137 II, 8|          mother, as other men are, or from man alone, or from
138 II, 8|            are, or from man alone, or from woman alone. For, in
139 II, 8|           produced from man alone, or woman alone, than if springing
140 II, 8|       taken either from man alone, or woman alone.~Boso. There
141 II, 8|          woman, in the common way; or neither of man nor woman,
142 II, 8|         woman, as he created Adam; or of man without woman, as
143 II, 8|     without woman, as he made Eve; or of woman without man, which
144 II, 8|            he be born of a virgin, or one not a virgin, we need
145 II, 8|            have said appear sound, or is it unsubstantial as a
146 II, 9|            than that of the Father or the Holy Spirit.~Anselm..
147 II, 9|           Wherefore the punishment or pardon of guilt is with
148 II, 9|       deviate from it to the right or left.~Anselm.. It is not
149 II, 0|           and in what sense he can or cannot sin; and how neither
150 II, 0|            be said that he can sin or that he cannot. For if it
151 II, 0|     uttered these same four words, or expressing the same thing
152 II, 0|        when I say that I can speak or walk, it is understood,
153 II, 0|          say that I can be dragged or bound unwillingly, this
154 II, 0|            I am able to be dragged or bound in no other sense
155 II, 0|        this, that another can drag or bind me. So we can say of
156 II, 0|           bring the three persons, or at least the Word, into
157 II, 1|   intervention of no other person, or another causes this, so
158 II, 1|    Therefore will he give himself, or something pertaining to
159 II, 1|           not give himself to God, or anything of his, as if God
160 II, 1|          somehow gives up himself, or something of his, to the
161 II, 1|         way that he gives himself, or something belonging to him,
162 II, 1|         may be to give up his life or to lay down his life, or
163 II, 1|           or to lay down his life, or to deliver himself up to
164 II, 1|         nothing can be more severe or difficult for man to do
165 II, 1|      holiness because of injuries, or scorn, or tortures, or even
166 II, 1|     because of injuries, or scorn, or tortures, or even death,
167 II, 1|             or scorn, or tortures, or even death, had they not
168 II, 3|        without the highest wisdom? Or, how will men believe him
169 II, 3|            the power, the firmness or the wisdom of God.~Boso.
170 II, 4|            we see that no enormity or multitude of sins, apart
171 II, 5|        sins of those who slew him? Or, if it destroys the sin
172 II, 5|        thing which no man ever did or could do.~Boso. You have
173 II, 5|          seem to infidels improper or impossible; and this, not
174 II, 6|         capable of being punished, or of receiving God's compassion.
175 II, 6|           will not lack the wisdom or the power to effect this
176 II, 6|        that whoever, either before or after the day appointed,
177 II, 6|          those far remote in place or time. But that it ought
178 II, 7|       think that he could not lie, or that his death was necessary,
179 II, 7|           not wish to avoid death, or that he wished to die of
180 II, 7|           not help wishing to die, or that it was of necessity
181 II, 7|          he could not avoid death, or that he died of necessity.~
182 II, 7|           great ado about nothing, or, as the saying is, you stumble
183 II, 8|         God that he does anything, or that he cannot do it, of
184 II, 8|           For nothing is necessary or impossible save as He wishes
185 II, 8|             Nay, the very choosing or refusing anything as a necessity
186 II, 8|            anything as a necessity or an impossibility is contrary
187 II, 8|      nothing else, as no necessity or impossibility exists before
188 II, 8|           exists before his choice or refusal, so neither do they
189 II, 8|          interfere with his acting or not acting, though it be
190 II, 8|          For there is no necessity or impossibility in the case
191 II, 8|         concerned, either to do it or not to do it, for his will
192 II, 8|           always either compulsion or restraint; and these two
193 II, 8|         that anything is necessary or not necessary, we do not
194 II, 8|          necessity either coercive or prohibitory, but we mean
195 II, 8|       everything else, restraining or driving them in a particular
196 II, 8|            deviate from the truth, or utter a lie. When, then,
197 II, 8|             could not avoid death, or the choice of death, after
198 II, 8|          with regard to preserving or choosing to preserve his
199 II, 8|           if he could wish to lie, or deceive, or change his disposition,
200 II, 8|           wish to lie, or deceive, or change his disposition,
201 II, 8|         say that anything is done, or not done, by necessity or
202 II, 8|          or not done, by necessity or weakness, when free choice
203 II, 8|          can we speak of necessity or weakness in reference to
204 II, 8|            will no force can drive or restrain. For this end was
205 II, 9|           what sense he ought not, or was not bound, to suffer. ~
206 II, 9|           was not obliged to lose, or paid a debt he did not owe.
207 II, 9|        that it was better for him, or that so doing he pleased
208 II, 9|           him the liberty of doing or not doing a thing, he leaves
209 II, 9|          says that either celibacy or marriage ought not to be
210 II, 0|           in not wishing to do it, or weak in not being able to
211 II, 0|            which he does not have, or else remits some rightful
212 II, 0|       nothing, and to whom no gift or release can be made?~Boso.
213 II, 0|       deserved is not given to him or any one else, then it will
214 II, 0|      Father rightfully prevent it, or refuse to give it to the
215 II, 0|           partakers of his reward. Or whom could he more justly
216 II, 1|            offering for yourself;" or these words of the Son: "
217 II, 1|            to faith in the Gospel. Or can anything be more just
